Blight!
Pull up and burn all affected plants/fruit, do not compost any part of
them,
and don't plant Toms or spuds in that spot for 5+ years. Infected fruit

rot.

Don't be ridiculous. Blight does not have resistant spores and does
not overwinter in the soil. The solution is to spray with Bordeaux
mixture next year and/or hope for different weather.


It will on any bit of plant material left behind, at least that's my
understanding, and how can you be certain to get it all.
I agree with the Bordeaux Mixture defensive spray though which I normally do
myself, and perhaps try "Ferline" next year too, it's Blight resistant (and
I've happily proved that to my own satisfaction by not using BM for the last
two years and none have got blight).
